Curious what the experts think...

Hi all,
I've hosted sites at powweb for five years or so but just discovered this forum. My web-development is completely self taught and I've used 'Frontpage' exclusively.
I built this site about four years ago and it has evolved into what it is today with periodic tweaking. It has a frameset and upon arriving, is the old 'fork in the road' whereby one can enter either site. The ani-graphis (rings) in the upper left corner is a master home link.

i tried to keep things simple and to provide smooth circular navigation but, always coaxing the visitor to complete a page before learning more from clicking through or back.
The idea being to always be 'closing' in on an appointment commitment...

This site is intended to be a 24-7 brochure for my local community of about 2.5 million people. Although, I do provide an off-site link to a directory where one can locate an installer in their area via zip code lookup.

By the way, the 'Putting Green' side of the site is imported from the manufacturers website with their permission. I did not build it.

I welcome your constructive comments / suggestions - Thanks!

-In Firefox, the top frame has extra padding at the top, so only have of the animation and text are visible.
-The animated gif has no value, and animated gifs aren't good to include unless for a very good reason
-No mouse trails.
-No page transitions.
-Your links aren't organized. Home is at the top left, contact us at the top-middle. The left column would make a good container for a nav bar.
-No hit counters.
-Don't use frames.
-Don't use Frontpage. Even Dreamweaver is better. Use it, Nvu, or hand-code.
-Don't title your pages with large numbers of asterisks and periods.
-For the All Pro page, it doesn't look good to embed another site directly into yours.

Sorry, but I need to be blunt: the site is very unprofessional, and you'll probably lose business over that fact. I suggest fixing all the quick things I pointed out (like removing the mouse trail and page transitions), then move on to organizing the content and links better, which should be a big improvement.

wide to accommodate the machine and to insure that the should be ensure.

edge of the mold is Unsure if it is American English / British English difference or if the spelling is wrong. I would spell it mould and when I set my Word dictionary to American English so would it!

Here in CA, we would spell it mold. :)

Check the fonts in the FAQ and be consistent with it.

I agree. Get rid of the mouse trails.

More later if and when the coffee kicks in.
